    I can't saw straight either, but with a router and a straight-edge I can make perfectly straight, square cuts, and using templates made from 3.5mm ply using an angle grinder, I can cut fancy shapes too. ;)

    As promised some pics. We got as far as finishing the overhead locker and the under rock n roll bed kick panel.

    Will do the two cabinets behind rock n roll bed then in a couple of weeks then later on in the summer will the bigger part.

    Does anyone know the best make and place to get those magnetic pop locker handles?

    Rainbow conversions in Wisbeach do a good selection of stuff like that. It's where we got the pop out handles for our drawers and cupboards.

    I think it depends on what else you have in the interior. Too many textures or colours can look a bit fussy. To be honest I'm not overly impressed with the quality of the push button locks from Rainbow Conversions. If I was looking for catches now I would probably look at boat chandlers as the quality might be better.
